A film about fire.

One burger, seen one ingredient at a time. Scroll slowly, because that's how it was made.

baked at dawn.

Milk-and-honey dough, butter-glazed and out of the oven before 5 a.m.

Brioche crown · 92 g

III — The cheese

Cheddar,
slow-melted.

Eighteen-month aged and laid on in the last thirty seconds, so it drapes instead of sliding off.

Twenty-eight days.
Then the flame.

Marble-6 wagyu, dry-aged on the bone and smashed once on screaming-hot cast iron.

Sharp,
and briny.

and crisp.

The heel
holds it all.

Crafted.
Flame-Kissed.

Four rules we
never bend.

Dry-aged wagyu

Marble score 6+ chuck and brisket, aged on the bone in our own chamber, then ground twice every morning.

260°C

Cast-iron sear

Smashed once on screaming-hot iron for a deep crust, then rested over oak embers so it stays pink in the middle.

5a.m.

Dawn brioche

Milk-and-honey dough, butter-glazed and baked before sunrise. Whatever's left at closing goes to the shelter on 6th.

72hours

House-cured everything

Our pickles brine for three days and the onions cure in hibiscus vinegar. The aioli is smoked over cherrywood.
